Solar Press signs OPV distribution agreement with FOM Technologies
Solar Press has developed a range of specialist fabrication and test equipment in-house to accelerate its core business in the development of OPV process technology solutions. Given the flexibility and superior performance of the equipment and its applicability to research in a wide range of functional materials, Solar Press has decided to make this equipment available to companies, academics and research establishments to meet their own research goals more efficiently.
Equipment to be offered includes the Solar Press Bench-Top Coating System (BTC01) for coating and drying onto flexible and rigid substrates, and the automated OPV Testing Carousel MGR01 for rapid multiple device testing. The BTC01 is a compact yet versatile system that replicates the coating (e.g. slot die) and drying (e.g. hot air impingement) techniques applied in large scale roll-to-roll coating manufacturing. The availability of this range of equipment enables researchers to explore the transition from small lab-scale fabrication processes such as spin coating and hot plate drying, to continuous industrially-relevant coating methodologies.
A pipeline of further products is to be launched as part of the agreement, including OPV device stability and ink formulation test systems, in-line roll-to-roll inspection systems as well as a powerful database and analysis software package for storing, exploring, analyzing and sharing OPV fabrication and characterization data. The agreement will also facilitate the management of laboratory devices.
The Solar Press products complement FOM Technologies’ existing flexible substrate coating and characterization equipment, providing a wide range of solutions for the small to the largest research laboratories.
